msn.comAstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, has said her family has been left with "no option" but to sue the pharmaceutical giant. Ms Shaw, 44, who worked for BBC Radio Newcastle, died just one week after her first jab in May 2021 after being admitted to hospital with severe headaches which turned out to be a bleed on the brain.
Husband Gareth Eve is one of a group of 75 claimants, some of whom have lost relatives, and some of whom survived with serious injuries.
All of them claim the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab was the blame. Mr Eve told the BBC he and others had made repeated attempts to contact both the company and the Government following their respective tragedies.
He added: "It's not in my make-up to turn around and say I want to sue somebody but for almost two years we've tried to engage with the Government and tried to engage with MPs since Lisa died and not one of them has reached out or engaged with us at all. "Any engagement is fleeting at best so that's the reason that we're left with no alternative - if the Government or AstraZeneca don't want to engage with us then what else are we supposed to do?"Mr Eve denied being a "crackpot or conspiracy theorist", stressing all those involved in the claim were "husbands and wives and family members who have lost somebody - that's all it is".
